    Bafang's Proprietary Battery Port?

    I can't seem to track down an XT60 adapter to fit Bafang's new (?) propietary (??) charger port for its batteries (lower left of pic below). Does anyone know what it's called and who might carry it? I hope to use my 80-90-100 smart charger and don't want to splice this one to it.

    Battery Misconceptions?

    I keep reading articles, posts etc. that refer to Samsung, LG, Panasonic etc. as the battery brand used on specific ebikes. But these are merely the cells used within the battery casing, no? Those companies don't actually build complete ebike batteries, do they? A battery using such...

    Rules finalized for ebikes on state park and forest trails where bikes allowed. Summary: throttles are OK as long as riders don't use 750W max motors to propel 100 lb max bikes (with fully functional pedals) past 20mph...

    "Special Tool"

    Looks like Bafang's BBSXX tool, but it's different and no one has them, including eBay and alibaba. Anyone else ever get one?

    No More Yamaha-Powered Haibikes?

    JW if anyone knows if Haibike will bring Yamaha-powered ebikes back to the US market, and if not, why? Their 2022 offerings are severely limited to a handful of Bosch-powered models, especially compared to years past! I can understand this, given supply chain and shipping woes, plus Haibike's...

    Shimano STePS E010 Error Survey - On or Off Road?

    After 2250 joyous trail miles on my Commencal MetaPower eMTB with Shimano's e8000 motor, I've recently experienced the apparently common - and oft-dreaded - E010 error code. According to Shimano, E010 indicates a "system error," so I searched my regular ebike forum jaunts (mostly here and the...

    "Bike-by-Wire" - Chainless Ebike Drive System

    Gotta hand it to Google News feed - it keeps leading me to intriguing ebike info. The following piece seemed worthy of an EBR post: https://www.electrive.com/2021/08/31/schaeffler-presents-chainless-e-bike-drive/ Excerpts from a press release: The first application I thought of was...

    Attn: New England eMTBers

    NEMBA recently updated its "position" on eMTBs. While not fully embracing true pedelec mountain bikes, it's a far cry from NEMBA's often ridiculous statements about them since 2013. Note the reference at the end to a new Facebook Group that advocates for eMTB trail access in New England. I...

    Motobecane STEPS SLX1x11 29er Dropper Post Issue

    A friend just got his STEPS 29er, which comes with a KS e10 internally routed dropper - a great deal at $2699, right? Unfortunately, as I helped him set it up via video, the dropper cable turned out to be clamped by the motor such that the seatpost can't be installed. The cable will not budge...

    TerraTrike Rover Conversion

    In all candor, I've never been a fan of Bafang - it seems to me that they ALL come with throttles (though I know they can be removed or disabled). Luna's "Ludicrous Mode" Bafang-equipped bikes - and several other "ebike" sellers' too - are eMotos, not e-bicycles. And they're downright...
